—Sunil Sharma
No longer
a mere physicality
but
become—
an essential part of
my being.
There,
Yet not there
like a game of shadow
and light
on a rainy day in
Mumbai.
Feeling your astral presence
on this Father’s Day—like every other day,
inside a remembering heart—for years together
now,
a lingering being
like the gnarled tree in the rural backyard.
The bond continues unabated
with a man who brought me home
and then, left for
a heavenly home—so suddenly!
i know you are there
up
some place
watching
like a guardian angel.
The casual reader will find themself wrapped in an endearing and insightful existential narrative that lingers long after they’ve finished reading.
Thanks dear Louis. Honoured!
What a lovely poem!!! Its such a great way to say to your father, ‘I miss you and love you’.
I feel the same :
“The bond continues unabated
with a man who brought me home
and then, left for
a heavenly home—so suddenly!”
Thanks a lot. Much appreciated!
